There is SO much stuff going on at Trent, in Peterborough, in Ontario, nationally and globally that pertains to food, eating and agriculture. Some of it is really exciting! And some of it is pretty stark. Let's not give in to the apathy that can so easily imbue our lives, and actively change both how food appears in our lives, and the lives of countless others. Let's make a difference. It's an ideal I know, but we can have fun, learn and make friends along the way!
The vision for this society, which was born out of the impetus of a few passionate and dedicated students was to have it be a space and community where we can garner inspiration from our fellow students to have an affect on the state of food and farming in the world. This is a pretty broad spectrum. We envisioned everything from farm visits, student cooking classes and farmers market tours, political activism campaigns for better social assistance to decrease food-based social exclusion, international food potlucks, to discussions around food based health, ecological farming, and supporting the fight for good food on campus, and so much more!
With that said, we want your ideas too! Come to a meeting, check out the facebook page and twitter feed.
Hope to see you all soon.
Have a safe and yummy reading break!
